I-Tried-It-Tuesday: Lash Extensions

Today I learned that sometimes beauty dreams really do come true. Ladies, I am the proud owner of a brand new set of lash extensions—and I’ve been shamelessly batting them all day.

Judging by the number of mascara posts and comments I’ve seen here, I know I’m not the only lash-obsessed person up on this blog. So I’m assuming most of you have heard of Xtreme Lashes? The company has been around for about four years, but I’ve never had the chance to try out their lash extensions until today. I’m so sold on these babies! Check out the results:

My new loooong lashes.

I'm not even wearing mascara!

I got them done by Master Lash Stylist, Noor, who must have the most patience of anyone I’ve ever met. She spent over two hours attaching tiny little hairs to each and every one of my lashes. And get this: Noor says that for photo shoots, the process can take up to six hours!! That’s pretty intense. The good news is, the extensions last three to four weeks and you can save a little time in the morning since you don’t have to wear mascara. The bad news is the price: They run between $200 to $500. Not exactly recession friendly, but for a major event like a wedding, I think they’re worth squeezing into the budget.

Would you drop serious bank on lash extensions? Have any of you ever had them before?
